I think I am going to have to pick one of these up. Was going to get the proline high down force but I think this looks a little better.

Proof that Jconcepts PWNS proline....
That would be an affirmative.
Very ugly, but looks alright.
That statement contradicts itself, in 5 words. That's freakin awesome man.

I admit I had to look up "PWNS," but what I guessed it meant was at least right. I don't see how this new wing makes either company PWN the other; I simply think it's another option. Like everything, some will like it, some won't. To me, ithis new wing looks cool, is different and it looks like some thought went into the design.

why does PWNS mean owns? I just dont see it??I've recently learned it is a "gamer"/online lingo thing. It probably comes from the typo of using "P" instead "O" because they're next to each other on a typical American keyboard.

You are correct! Just like how when people type, 'the' too fast and you get 'teh'. Now a lot of people will type in 'teh' on purpose. But than new wing is perty cool.

I still think i like the himoto high downforce one better.

It still has the dual deck design and the ribs run the entire hiight and depth of the wing for better stiffness.

I like pro-line for their scale bodies, but in my opinion Jconcepts makes the better racing bodies.

Are any of these acutally "Wind Tunnel" tested to prove they actually aid in down-force or is it all looks?
I have my doubts.....

The wing from Himoto is wind tunnel tested. I doubt this one is they would surely advertise it. I do like the look of this wing a lot more than the proline one since the overall height is lower (or so it would seem). Plus the side dams are nicer.

Thanks for the comments guys. We will also have them available in black within a few weeks. We are really happy with the way it has been performing and its durability.

sounds good. I will wait for the black one then. Just ordered your body for the 8ight and a yellow wing but after painting it I think the body might look better with a black wing.
